Pretty Hate Machine, 1989 Album by Nine Inch Nails

Firework - Katy Perry (From The Album, Teenage Dream)

Metallica - Jump In The Fire (Song)
Overview —“ Jump In The Fire, the fourth track from Kill —˜Em All, is thankfully a much better track than the song to precede it, Motorbreath. If you read my review of Motorbreath then it’s pretty obvious that I really don’t enjoy that song very much at all but …

Song Whitehorse by singer Taylor Swift

The Rolling Stones - The Lantern (Song)
The Lantern is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Take This Job And Shove It by David Allan Coe

The Lumineers - Cleopatra (2016 Song)
Remember when the Mumford-constructed song “Ho Hey” became a huge worldwide hit last 2012? Well, I still could but I never listened to it more than twice. I am a huge fan of Mumford & Sons and I think copying their signature sound wouldn’t do a band any good. …

Singer Kid Rock
If you want to talk about a diverse singer, Kid Rock would be the one. He changes sides so often that you almost can’t keep up with him. He goes from songs like “American Badass” to “Picture” without batting an eyelash. Honestly, I don’t even know what genre that …

The Beatles - Birthday (Song)

Apocalypse Please, the second track to appear on Muse’s record, Absolution, is the latest Muse song which I’ve currently found myself listening to over and over. I’m finding that with Muse I’m generally discovering one of their songs every few days which I simply can’t stop listening to, the …
